Using Plug-in Offline Client to restore data as a VMDK Image

Using Plug-in Offline Client to restore data as a VMDK Image

This option lets you recover backups of the client to a VMDK Image, which can then be attached to a VM created from VMware. This option converts the backup of a physical machine to a VM.

Plug-in Server must be installed on the NetVault Server.

This procedure includes the steps outlined in the following topics:

•
Selecting data for a restore using Plug-in Offline Client to restore data as a VMDK Image
•
Setting restore options for using Plug-in Offline Client to restore data as a VMDK Image
•
Finalizing and submitting the job for using Plug-in Offline Client to restore data as a VMDK Image
•
Creating the VM from the restored VMDK Image

1
In the Navigation pane of the NetVault WebUI on the NetVault Server, click Create Restore Job.
2
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug-in Server from the Plugin Type list.
3
To filter the items displayed in the saveset table further, use the Client, Date, and Job ID lists.
The table displays the saveset name (job title and saveset ID), creation date and time, and size. By default, the list is sorted by creation date.
4
In the saveset table, locate the applicable client, and select the applicable item.
When you select a saveset, the following details are displayed in the Saveset Information area: Job ID, job title, server name, client name, plug-in name, saveset date and time, retirement setting, Incremental Backup or not, Archive or not, saveset size, and snapshot-based backup or not.
5
Click Next.
6
On the Create Selection Set page, select the data that you want to restore.
•
To restore the entire disk, click the box to the left of the applicable disk title to select it.
•
To select specific items, double-click a disk to open it, and then select the Master Boot Record & System Partition and individual partitions that you want to restore.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If restoring to a VMDK Image, both Master Boot Record & System Partition and the individual partitions or the restore job fails.

1
On the Create Selection Set page, click , and select VMDK Images as the Restore Type.
This type of restore provides two additional options — either to restore the VMDK Image to a local directory of the NetVault Server or to restore to a remote VMware ESX or VMware ESXi Server.
2
If you want to restore the VMDK Image to a local directory of the NetVault Server, in the Local Target Directory box of the VMDK Recovery Options frame, enter a valid path to the location for storing recovered images.
If this field is left blank, the default is the NetVault “temp” directory, “…/NetVault/tmp.”
3
If you want to restore the VMDK Image to a remote ESX or ESXi Server, complete the following steps:
a
Select the Restore to Remote ESX Server check box in the VMDK Recovery Options frame.
b
Enter the values for ESX Host, Port, Username, Password, and Path.
These options are required to restore VMDK Images directly to an ESX or ESXi Server. This step is useful when there is no local storage space on the NetVault Server machine or when using ESX or ESXi Server.
•
ESX Host: Enter the host name or IP address of the ESX or ESXi Server.
•
Port: Enter the remote console port on the ESX or ESXi Server.
•
Username: Enter the user name for logging in to the ESX or ESXi Server.
•
Password: Enter the password for the specified user name.
•
Path: Enter the directory on the ESX or ESXi Server where the VMDK files should be created. This path should always start with a datastore within square brackets — [datastore] dir. If the path specified does not exist, the plug-in cannot connect to the ESX or ESXi Server.

The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Administrator’s Guide.

1
To save the settings, click Ok, and then click Next.

In Job Name, specify a name for the job if you do not want to use the default setting.
Assign a descriptive name that lets you easily identify the job when monitoring its progress. The name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot include non-English characters. On Linux, the name can have a maximum of 200 characters. On Windows, there is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms.
3
In the Target Client list, select the machine on which you want to restore the data.

TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box.
4
Use the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options lists to configure any additional required options.
